Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is configured for your computer system. Change any settings necessary for your configuration.

NOTE: If you are installing a non-EIDE tape drive, check the documentation for the drive to determine the jumper or switch settings used to designate the drive as drive address DS4 (not DS2 or DS3 as may be indicated in the drive documen- tation). Unless the drive is already set to drive 4, reconfigure its jumper or switch setting (see “Jumpers” and “Switches” in Chapter 5).

If you are installing an EIDE CD-ROM or EIDE tape drive, configure the drive for the Cable Select setting.

Squeeze the metal tabs that extend from each side of the drive bracket toward each other, and pull the bracket out of the bay (see Figure 7-6).
